Austin road blocks and other closures to know about for ACL weekend

Brace yourselves: Austin City Limits Music Festival has begun. If you're trying to navigate to Zilker Park — or completely avoid the area — here are a few things to note for both weekends of ACL.

Festival goers can no longer get dropped off or picked up near Robert E. Lee Road. The section of Barton Springs Road between Lamar Boulevard and Sterzing Street will only be open for neighborhood access. All others will be redirected away from the area.

Zilker Botanical Gardens and the Austin Nature & Science Center will be closed during the six days of the festival. However, Barton Springs Pool will remain open for festival-goers who need to cool off and the adventurous Austinite who doesn't mind braving the masses.

The Great Lawn at Zilker Park will be closed through October 23 to allow for deconstruction and lawn repair.
